Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Alabama
National Weather Service Huntsville AL
508 AM CDT Sun Sep 22 2024

.DISCUSSION...

A mid-level area of high pressure will spread eastward along the
Gulf Coast through Monday, maintaining a weather pattern featuring
hot temperatures across the TN Valley. Although a few afternoon
showers and thunderstorms will be possible today, the greatest
concentration of this activity should occur across northeast AL,
where chances for wetting rainfall are in the 20-30% range. A
similar configuration is anticipated on Monday, with the highest
probabilities for afternoon showers and storms across the northern
half of the forecast area. Afternoon RH values will be in the
40-50% range both today and Monday, with smoke dispersion in the
generally good-good category. It currently appears as if chances
for beneficial rainfall will increase during the Tuesday- Thursday
timeframe, as a frontal boundary will shift southeastward into
the region and stall. Additional rainfall may occur toward the end
of the week and into next weekend, but the level of uncertainty
at this time range increases considerably.

Fog potential over the next few days: Patchy early morning
mist/fog will be possible each day from today-Tuesday.

Potential for Red Flag Conditions: None at this time.
